about
The ship was damaged when we found it. We know that now.
The last crew had disintegrated. There was no one left to repair, so Pendulum jumped. She found us…
The ship is alive, and now she is getting better. Some of her organs are damaged, badly. No one is sure if we will be able to cross back beyond the rifts and junctures which brought us here. Our provisions are in her care. Our lives are in her care, as hers was in ours only hours prior~
Screens flicker on, data we’ve collected, areas we’ve explored… The sheer number of ideas projected on her image cubes staggers the imagination. Everything we’ve passed, even galaxies away… when there were still galaxies…
The data before her crash- Where she came from, her previous crew, her home, all lost in the final makeshift jump.
We’ve been hurled across space and time to escape… whatever that was..
Something’s on our scanners- a tingle crawls the length of my spine as I look towards the singular alarm siren- It’s a ship! Another ship, all the way out here, wherever it is we are now. As we acknowledge the siren, there is a sense of familiarity. It is warm… Pendulum recognizes this other ship, from her past! As we pull towards it, an airlock decompresses, as the hatch slides open~
Certain abnormalities arise;
The body of this ship, it seems, is having some sort of reaction to the fuel dispersement system.
Damn thing’s all creaking and kinking at the edges, and it’s got us all a bit nervous~
New technologies like this have brought us upon all number of voluminous insight and veritable spectral paradises, but if we’re not able to pull her through to the end of our journey, all our progress might be naught but a tally upon the anals of history…
If we’re gonna keep this ship in one piece, we’re going to have to disable the problematic system… somehow.
Steadying my hand, I look to the others, and find strength enough to begin what I can only hope to be the correct shut down sequence…
(“Powered down, floating in a short verse of space, on such a grand scale, the mind may fail to notice even monumental occurrences as specks upon the glass…” )
